Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured Feb. 16, 2021, makes his way to the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, where he outlined his government's legislative push to tighten gun-control measures. Bill C-21 includes a provision that would give municipalities the ability to issue bylaws restricting the possession of handguns. It also marks a reversal of its previous pledge to make its gun buy-back program compulsory for those who own recently restricted assault-style firearms. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
